Today I went to Office Depot and bought a notebook. It was a pretty good price, if I do say so myself. A colleague of mine had suggested I get a college-ruled notebook this time, as the wide-ruled paper I had been getting over the years did not allow for sufficient explanation of scientific principles, and often I would take fifteen notebooks explaining one concept and I would get confused in the order or lose whole notebooks at any given time. Somehow I don’t think the college-ruled notebook will help me act smarter but given that Dr. Sandra DeBaer also had suggested the good idea of using paper towels instead of my hand to clean things in my house, maybe this will work better too.

My research team, Braduly Research Team, has set up a lab and funding for our next experiment. We have located ourselves to the outskirts of a marina in Long Beach, CA to prepare for excursions out into the ocean. I have selected a team of brave volunteers to deep sea dive into the treacherous depths of Long Beach to accomplish our research goal.

Today I brought in three starfish to experiment on. Part of the lofty goal we have chosen to explore will require us to test the electrical resistance of starfish and other sea-life we might encounter during our deep sea dive. Documenting our tests before the first dive will prove to be useful as we will make sure to not be surprised about exploding sea animals.

It has been five days since we barbecued starfish. We decided to eat the starfish but they didn’t sit very well with our stomachs and we have been feeling sick for the past five days. We should have just stuck with the Brazilian restaurant down the street. They might take forever to make their food but at least we won’t feel like more starfish are growing in our stomach.

The second stage of our pre-dive experiments has been successful. We have acquired thermal shielding for our deep sea scuba gear and are retrofitting our underwater vehicles. We must now plan for the contingency of releasing something we may not want to release. We will be experimenting with the torpedo systems in case any unforeseen terrors arise from beneath the Earth’s crust.

Today is July 4th, Independence Day. The beach has been overrun by patriots and their silly showings of nationalism. Nationalism is bad for countries; don’t they know what they are doing to their own country? We are all at base right now waiting for the escapades to end. We watch the silly explosions of chemicals on television, adding to the already existing pollution in our air. They celebrate the birth of a nation by killing the world it is on! It is quite hilarious, really.

We have spent the better part of the day re-establishing our communications array that was knocked askew by a rogue firework. I had to call AT&T to come out and look at it, and they said next time they come out they would have to charge us forty dollars because we have equipment attached to our communications systems that we didn’t purchased from them. How does that even make sense? Do they expect us to not use the communications systems that we pay for because we are using computers that aren’t made by them for a problem that isn’t even something that I had control over? Who do they think they are? Our dial-up modems download at five kilobytes a second — it might be fast but we can’t afford to waste any more time than is necessary.

I’ve been a paying customer for 3 years and pay 150 dollars for our phone lines each month. The funding for this experiment will run dry if there are too many more delays.

I have just got back from our funding meeting with Hersher & Globula, a multinational candy-making company. Those goobers think they can just cut off my funding with no explanation when I ask for more operatives to take over the marina. Well I got news for them! I am so close to the discovery of what lies beneath the Long Beach Seaquarium, that I will find volunteers to help me – FOR FREE.

July 26, 1999

I’ve posted bulletins up on telephone polls for operatives to help me discover what lies beneath the crust of the Earth. The response has been surprisingly overwhelming and I now have over three hundred volunteers equipped with their own gear and weaponry to put my experiment into motion. The Landrill has completed its final tests and is now ready to begin digging in the whale tank of the Long Beach Seaquarium.

August 12, 1999

It is the first day we have full control of the Long Beach Seaquarium. After we threw out all the marina employees and released the animals into the ocean, we activated the Landrill to begin its long trek into the crust. The 345 security operatives have full control of the marina at this very moment and we are keeping the administration of the marina locked in their offices. They are allowed to resume their daily duties, as we require food to be imported. We may get sick of eating fish that was meant for dolphins and whales, but I do not plan on waiting long for our goal to be accomplished.

There have been three incursions to our sanctity by the local law enforcement. Two by land, one by sea. All I will say is that it was a good thing we brought torpedoes. Due to our preparation and strategic location, we have very limited casualties and work on the Landrill goes swimmingly (pun intended).

August 17, 1999

The police chief has agreed to send us daily regiments of pizza to feed my army in exchange for one prisoner. I believe this is a fair trade off, considering this one prisoner is so ridiculously illogical and talks about how she believes in God. Honestly, how can you be a scientist and still believe in that good-for-nothing loser? He is a rapist and a terrorist, and he’s probably guilty of murder.

August 20, 1999

Our quest to find what lies beneath the Earth’s crust is nearly through! We have finally almost hit the edge of the crust with the Landrill. We must be careful now, as the chocolate that lies beneath the Earth’s crust must be cultivated and sold to candy makers at high prices! This will be the biggest discovery mankind has known since I proved that clouds are made of cotton candy!

August 22, 1999

As I write this, I felt it was important to note what evil I have unleashed upon this Earth. There are DEMON CHOCOLATE BUNNIES UNDERNEATH THE MARINA! They have dismembered fifteen of my operatives and our bullets and electricity guns do not harm them. They slowly advance out of the hole created by the Landrill. We are in a pincer attack situation, with Demon Chocolate Bunnies coming from within our position and police advancing from the outside. This situation is hopeless, but when the police discover what is happening, I will be who has the last laugh.
